Errors when installing phusion passenger on mac - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm installing Passenger on Mac OSX (10.9.5) and have been getting errors. If it matters, Ruby 2.1.2 is installed through rbenv and I have Rails 4.0.0 installed. Per the 'Agile Web Development with Rails 4' book I'm installing Passenger version 4.0.8. After typing the command
> sudo passenger-install-apache2-module
in Terminal it takes me through some prompts for the installation process and then I get the following error section

I've looked through the documentation like it suggested but can't seem to find what could cause these errors. I've also looked online with the same result. Any idea what could cause this? How should I fix it?

Answer 1

I think you're using too outdated version of passenger. Try install it from http://brew.sh/. https://www.phusionpassenger.com/documentation/Users%20guide%20Apache.html#install_osx_homebrew
